This round, the theme is languages.
If you have an idea for something you'd like to see, please leave the ship, a language, and any other details as a PROMPT below. After you've posted, read through everyone else's prompts, and leave a FILL for any which catch your eye. Fills can be in any media, and they need not be long, but please put a little effort in--if anyone starts spamming this post for points, we'll be able to tell.
You should place PROMPT/FILL, your current team affiliation and a brief summary in the comment title. Do not forget to change the title of the comment when posting a FILL as a reply to a PROMPT. NSFW prompts and fills should mention this in the summary or at the top of the post. Reminder that team names must be in alphabetical order (ie. Balthazar/Death, not Death/Balthazar) and that portmanteaus (ie. Lubriel, Annaby) are not allowed when identifying team affiliation.
You will be awarded five points per prompt for the first five prompts you leave. The first three fills posted for each prompt will receive 15 points, the next three 10 points, and the next three 5 points. Prompts with ten or more fills will no longer receive fill points.
Bonus rounds are still rarepair only, but you can post prompts or fills for any rare ship this round, including gen/platonic ones (which should be indicated with an & as above). Due to some unforeseen complication from last round, we have changed the rules. It is now 15 points per fill for the first three fills by three different people. So if someone does a fic for Fill 1 and a fanmix for Fill 2, then get 15 + 10 points, and then Person 2 does a fill and Person 3 does a fill, so even though those would be fills 3 and 4, they count as 15 and 15 points since they're fills by new people. You are still not permitted to fill your own prompt. We also encourage people not to fill prompts from their teammates, although the points will not be deducted if you do.
Bonus round fills can include links provided they are publicly viewable. Works can also be cross-posted to other websites, as there is no anonymity requirement in bonus rounds. However, works posted directly to comments will be limited to 16,000 characters by the Dreamwidth comment limit. Longer works should therefore be divided between multiple comments.
Remember, Team Chuck can participate in bonus rounds, and if you change teams, points earned will transfer with you until the end of the team shuffle period.

Prompt: Team Dean/Michael, Fictional Languages
fill, team crowley/sam, mando'a
Oz was really quite a pleasant place once you adjusted to…well…just about everything. But having Dorothy by her side was really an immeasurable comfort for Charlie. She knew everything they could possibly need to know about this place. And while it did make Charlie feel more comfortable in the strange land, she did feel like she had been reduced to novice status, having to learn everything she thought she knew over again. So moments like this were few and far between, where Charlie could demonstrate some of her own impressive knowledge.
“You mean, you know languages that don’t even exist?” Dorothy questioned as they sat around the fire of their camp one night.
“Well, I mean, they do exist,” Charlie stressed, “it’s just that…they’re technically spoken in another universe.”
Dorothy stared at her wide-eyed, impressed, a small smile on her face. “So what are some of these languages and why in god’s name did you decide to study them?”
“Hey, when I find a universe I like, I do not hesitate to fully immerse myself. And if that means learning another language, then so be it,” Charlie retorted. “Let’s see, I know a good amount of Elvish, Klingon, and I just recently started getting into Mandalorian.”
“Mandalorian? That sounds dangerous.”
“It is…well…depending on whose side you’re on. But the language…well, it isn’t as tough as the mandalorians themselves. You have to start with the phrases first, really. They have a lot of sayings and things, like, ‘Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la’ which means ‘not gone, merely marching far away.’”
There was a pause. “You mean, kind of like what we’re doing…away from earth and all that,” Dorothy’s voice had turned solemn, almost sad, but her eyes still expressed her bright curiosity.
Charlie’s face softened as she thought on it. “Yeah, that’s a nice way of looking at it…though mandalorians usually use that phrase when someone is dead and I wouldn’t consider our situation quite that drastic…yet,” she added with a lighthearted smile.
Dorothy laughed. “No, not at all…”
“Maybe, this phrase could be a little more applicable to our lifestyle; ‘Ib'tuur jatne tuur ash'ad kyr'amur’.”
“What does that mean?”
“Today is a good day for someone else to die,” Charlie answered with a grin.
Dorothy burst into laughter. “Tell me more about these ‘mandalorians’. They sound like my kind of people.”
Charlie did so with pleasure.
